jun graduated from franklin high school today. no one knows how absolutely proud i am of my lil brother. despite all the barriers that our family has had to overcome with the educational system..with bein immigrants..low income..my brother overcame all that fucken shit and got a high school diploma.
i nearly cried when i saw my brother up there on stage as the senior class vice president with honors. my brother even gave the welcoming remarks to the audience..to some 1000+ people at the pasadena civic auditorium. altho, i completely missed that part of the graduation ceremony (damn pilipin@ time) i am soo fucken proud of my brother for the legacy that he is leavin behind at franklin high school.
bein at my brother's graduation brought back a lot of the memories that i had not only at my own graduation but the memories that i created for myself in high school...kickin it at lunch..leadership..playin sports..the people i met..and everything else you could possibly imagine. today, i saw folks from when i was still roaming the halls at franklin in 2004...ashley, adriana, mr. flores (such a gangsta!), buff ass sammy, oscar?, daisey, christina, stephen kong, and otha cats. havent seen them since 4 years ago..high school..and as a matter of fact since graduation. crazy how time flies like nothin these days.
the PASCO REIGN at franklin has finally ended..but the LEGACY lives on...
